Winding Failures In Motors

Winding insulation degrades over time. MCA (Motor Circuit Analysis) detects these developing faults very early.  Early detection of these faults allows for corrective action before they become catastrophic and result in a major rebuild or replacement.

These internal winding faults are the beginning of the end for most motors. Using Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA) can help identify these types of internal winding faults.

MCA is the de-energized test method and the test can be initiated from the Motor Control Center (MCC) or directly at the motor.
